In terms of the past year, Mawson should have been a very fruitful year.

First of all, he captured the legendary pirate 'Golden Lion' Shiji, who once rampaged the world, and at the same time, his sword skills also broke through to the level of a great swordsman.

As a result, the name completely resounded across the sea, and no one dared not to take him in his eyes no matter whether it was a big guy or a minion.

Later, he met Hawkeye Mihawk and became good friends.

The unexpected joy also happened after meeting Hawkeye, and the mastery of high-level armed color domineering did indeed raise his strength to another level.

Of course, the most important thing for Mawson is to get rid of the unstable factor of Whitebeard II and ensure that Zefa will not have problems.

He didn't think he would get any reward out of it, but in any case, Ain and Binz came to him, and he was the ultimate beneficiary.

From his own point of view, although the progress in fruit development during this period of time is still much worse than his previous rapid improvement, it can still satisfy him after all.

There is no lunar calendar on the Haiyuan calendar, and there is no festival called Chinese New Year's Eve here at the G-2 base.

So on the last day of the year, Mawson quietly disappeared from the base.

No one knows where he went.

Happy One Island.

The two ring-shaped volcanoes here stand opposite each other, as if even they are laughing at Mawson alone.

The saber [Demon Ghost] was carried on his waist, but Mawson did not have the slightest intention of letting it come out to accompany him.

The only thing that could accompany him was a big wine bottle, which was a royal special wine sent from the palace of Fish-Man Island, which was 10,000 meters deep in the sea.

On a boulder, two unknown seabirds were roasted and placed in front of Mawson.

The sunset seems to be the best portrayal of a lonely person.

Yes, loneliness.

This is something deep inside Mawson, a strange world of time that is familiar to him but not fully understood, because he is essentially a lonely ghost from another world.

This time of year is his one-man.

He stubbornly clinged to this habit because he probably still had the illusion of being able to return.

After all, there are his friends and relatives, brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers.

The sun had not yet fully set, and his eyes were already a little drunken and hazy.

A seabird went down, and Mawson poured a few large sips of wine, and the sweet liquor entered his throat, making his eyes clearer, and then changing back to the original.

This is his Chinese New Year's Eve dinner alone.

Including his age, he has been counting since the end of this day.

That is, it was the end of his tail on the last day of his 19th year.

His parents, siblings, and friends over there don't know if they can still remember the existence of this dead fat man.

Mawson didn't shed tears, but his eyes became distant and dazed.

I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world.

He didn't know who said this, but in fact, from his experience, he felt that this sentence was very correct in this world, so he was disgusted and insecure about this world.

Even if he has a strong force now, it doesn't mean that he likes it here.

He would rather go back to that safe place than here.

But the reality told him that he couldn't go back, and everything in the past was already in the dust.

Mawson seems to be the hardest working group of people in the world, but in fact, he is also an uncertain and negative one for the future.

That's why he chose to live in this world.

It's just that he is afraid of death, and he wants to quickly improve his strength, and the purpose is just to control his life and death instead of handing it over to others.

And in the process of becoming stronger, it is inevitable to do all kinds of things.

"Alas......"

Mawson sighed, still smelling of alcohol, but he couldn't smell it.

Touching the wine bottle to the sky, another big sip of wine, and Mawson's whisper sounded in the wind: "I can't see you again." ”

He shook the wine bottle that could hold 5 catties of wine after it was full, and the wine inside was almost bottoming out.

I accidentally drank it faster.

Mawson thought, his misty eyes suddenly froze.

On one side of his body, two ring-shaped volcanoes suddenly began to vibrate, and the tremors caused his position to become unstable.

Mawson's mind was still a little confused at this time, and he didn't realize what was happening.

It wasn't until the two craters began to smoke outwards that he fully reacted, and with a strange scream, his drunken spirit disappeared immediately, and the whole person disappeared from the boulder he had just sat on.

Well, by the way, I took another roasted seabird with me.

Eliminate waste, start now.

Boom...... Click......

The sound began to coalesce, and two thick pillars of smoke began to rush out of the crater, as if a demon from the magma hell was emitting dense demonic energy, and the poisonous mist erupted, followed by the billowing magma wrapped in smoke.

Well, you guys celebrated this special day with two giant fireworks.

Mawson put away his sentimental thoughts, and the whole person rose to the sky, and under the sky where the sunset was still shining, he flew to the direction of the base like an auspicious cloud.

In the G-2 base, Mawson felt a little strange today after he arrived.

The whole base seemed a little quiet, except for the soldiers who were still on normal duty, the rest of the place was silent.

It was also dark in his office.

Oh, it seems that those soldiers on duty are not normal either, and their expressions are a little strange.

"Smoker, what are they doing?" Mawson frowned.

He went straight back to the office from the most familiar location, his window passage.

This?!!

As soon as he entered the room, he didn't feel right.

Swish......

Suddenly, the whole room lit up, and there were more than a dozen people crammed into this fairly large office, almost taking up half of the room.

And in the middle of the room is a huge cake that is three stories high.

"Happy birthday, sir." A neat voice rang out.

Mawson was stunned, standing at the forefront were Smoker, Drake, Xun, Ain, Binz, Darneku and other Mawson's most familiar faces, and some were representatives from the soldiers, and he could also name them.

They all looked at Mawson with a smile.

“surprise！！”

Ain stepped forward and smiled softly at Mawson, who was already stunned, before she lit a candle on the cake.

"Sir, make a wish."

Needless to say, this thing must have been made by Ain, because Drake and Smoker had no awareness of it at all.

To be precise, after coming to this world, in addition to the two years when his adoptive parents were there, there would be such a small ceremony, and in the remaining eight years, he forgot the existence of his birthday.

Mawson suddenly felt a little sour in his nose.

He didn't know how to describe this sudden surprise, and he had a mixed feeling.

Taking a deep breath, Mawson suppressed all his emotions.

He took a few steps forward, placed the wine bottle on the desk, came to the temporary table, and blew out the candle in one breath.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you......"

The familiar melody sounded first, almost shattering the mood that Mawson had just organized.

It's a ...... feeling of warmth surging

It's been a long time!

"Sir, tell me what you just wished? Then I'll give us a couple of words. ”

Or Aine brought up the topic, and at this time to Smoker they came to talk, and the big men always felt a little gay and gay.

The moment he looked up, he had already slid away the sparkle that had just flashed in his eyes, and Mawson's eyes swept over Smokedrake, revealing his usual smile: "Originally, it didn't work to say what I wanted, but since you strongly demanded, then I will tell you." ”

Everyone suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Finished!

The chief is going to come out again with a whole moth.

"My wish is that I hope that there are lovers in the world who will eventually become brothers and sisters."

Everyone stared at Smoker and Drake strangely, not knowing what to say.

Especially Drake and Smoker, who were stared at by Mawson, their faces turned green at that time.

Do you listen to this is still human talk?

This bastard shouldn't have given him a birthday.

Let him spiral up to heaven alone to eat fart.

"Hahaha, of course I lied to you, my wish is that I hope you two can get a beautiful woman as soon as possible, and it is best to get married on the spot." Mawson smiled as he grinned and explained.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

In a moment, I thought about it, this is not right, both horizontal and vertical were caught in by this bastard.

Mo Sen didn't care what the two of them thought, he picked up the table knife on the table, cut it from the middle, and then took advantage of everyone's surprise, throwing out the knife from the tip of the knife.

None of the people who stood in front ran away, and their faces were all covered with cream.

Even the gentle young lady Aine was also murdered.

"Happy New Year, eat cake, yo hehehehe."

…………

…………

Happy times are always the shortest, and whether Mawson wants it or not, time will not decrease or increase by half a minute of his will.

He also didn't expect that Aine would take such a small matter to heart.

However, this is not a simple subordinate relationship for him,

It's not bad.

The countries of this world are so scattered and messy, and each place has its own unique festival.

But all in all, the biggest in the world is naturally Christmas.

Of course, most of them are islands with distinct seasons and winter islands.

Other festivals are unique to their own country.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a Chinese New Year in this world.

So for most maritime countries, this day also only means the beginning of a new year and has no other meaning.

Life is not only on the G-2 base, but also in other places.

For example, the new barracks of the Navy Headquarters, the new year's new recruits will soon start the barracks.

Relatively well, the naval school still has a relatively long vacation, which is undoubtedly good news.

……

East Sea, Sea Restaurant Bharati.

Since Mawson left here last time, thanks to the word of mouth of those merchants, this sea restaurant is far hotter than in the plot.

With less pirate invasion in the surrounding area, the merchant trade will naturally increase.

This is near the hometown of Vice Admiral Mawson, the naval hero who defeated the legendary pirate 'Golden Lion' Shiki.

Although for most people in the East China Sea, they don't know Shiki's horror, but the guy who can be compared to One Piece Roger, is naturally powerful and evil.

In particular, I heard that this Lieutenant General Mo Sen is the most protective of his shortcomings, and the fish-man pirates who came from the Great Voyage before were directly cleared by Mo Son.

It seems like only one poor fish-man escaped?

Not to mention that Colonel Hindreil, who is now in charge of the 77th base of the East China Sea Branch, is an extremely powerful guy.

So the East China Sea, the weakest sea, can really be called a symbol of peace now.

There are three or two big cats and small kittens of pirates, and they are not at all weather.

Without pirates, the merchant trade began to flourish, and with the sea restaurant Bharati next to the shipping route to Rogue Town, and with the praise of Vice Admiral Mawson, it was difficult not to catch fire.

And when it comes to Bharati's cuisine, apart from the head chef here, Jep, the best thing he does now is a little imp with short yellow hair and curly eyebrows who has just begun to develop.

Sometimes, the whole thing of talent is really God's best.

A 13-year-old kid would never believe that a child could make a meal until he had tasted it.

But now Bharati's regulars know that except for Jep, this little ghost is the best at cooking.

Unlike Zhepu, this little imp seems to serve beautiful ladies most of the time, so the merchant ships that come and go have a faint nickname of the little pervert.

Because his attitude towards men is really not so friendly.

Bharati at lunchtime is the busiest time of the day, and the boats like to dock here to take a break and treat themselves to the hard work.

Another reason for the restaurant's popularity is the fact that food is provided free of charge to survivors of shipwrecked ships.

Of course, the main thing is that the food here is so affordable that the prices are explosive.

Just in time for lunchtime, there are two more merchant ships docked next to Bharati.

The restaurant is not a large space, and most of the seats are already full.

At this time, when two figures appeared at the door of the restaurant, the head of the well-proportioned and tall figure walked in first, and behind him was a blue wave with soft long hair, bangs on his forehead, and he looked gentle and obedient.

Although the two of them look good and good-looking, no one will think that this is a couple or boyfriend and girlfriend.

Because the look of the beautiful girl who is half a step behind is too respectful, this can be seen with a little knowledge.

Even more so because the figure headed by the leader is too recognizable, Vice Admiral Mowson.

"Let's go sit down there," the tall figure in front ......of him pointed to an empty seat, and before the words fell, a crisp voice interrupted.

"Welcome, my lady, your presence has brightened the whole restaurant, what can I do for you?"

A little yellow hair in an ill-fitting suit appeared in front of a beautiful woman with sea-blue soft hair, and she almost didn't get kicked out.

The tall figure with his head stood up, his face turned dark, and you dare to flirt with any situation.

Did Mao Changqi not?

"Yellow-haired little pervert, it looks like you're underwhelmed!"
